THIS SUMMERS PEACH.

There was a peach convention at Dover
in the fine old State of Bayardvile, we mean
Delaware, on Friday Men who grow peaches,
men who sell peaches on commission whole
sale dealers IN peaches retail dealers in reaches.
peach middemen and manufacturers of peach
baskets communed with one another. They
came from the east and the west and from the
north and the south to discuss the coming
peach crop. The common bond that united
them was peaches. What was the resutf
Could thereporters that the convention
truthfully telegraph TO their newspapers that
no peach was ever grown that was sweeter than
the tempers of these peach people; that
the gathering was characterized by spirit as
agreeable to contemplate rs the bloom that
rests upon " the soft-cheeked peach"9 To be
frank the reporters couldn't aud hev didn't.
The one. for instance, who represented The
Philadelphia Press stated in his dispatch that
the convention resulted in stirring scenes
and dissensions and these facts were estab-
lished: that Philadelphia dealers are at peace
with and enjoy the confidence Of the peach
growers of the peninsula, that the New ork
men are at loggerheads with them, and between
the growers and the Boston men there exists an
armed neutrality The same reporter testified
that resolution was presented "denouncing
the New York dealers and commission men
as combine ard 'conspirators {.
impudently refusing to make any return
for the thousands of baskets in which
the fruit was shipped 1t is sad to think
that peach people, instead of living up TO
the peace and good will which the peach
symbolIzes. should let their angry passions re-
volve around the luscious fruit. Mr.. Rosa, of
the committee that issued the call for the con-
vention, evidently thought so. for after watch

man who realizes what is due to the peach.
However, the course Of history proves that
we perhaps ought not TO exDect that peaches

It tells what a mob In New-York would
have to expect in about half an hour
after the news of its existence and In
tentions reached the Central Office. What
the rufians would most desire at the end OF
that time would. of course, be clear streets to
run through to get out of the way of the APP
preaching police. This Is not only the opinion
of the authorities In Mulberry ST., but the be-
lief of all who understand the thorough organi-
cation of the New-York police force. The blue
coats could handle any mob that could gather
in this city. 1t probably would be unnecessary
to ask the aid of the militia; at the Central
Office they are sure it would not be necessary.
Yet the presence of several thousand armed
men in the armories would give the police
great deal of moral support in case of serious

| TNTERESTING YACHTING PREPARATIONS

INTERESTING YACHTING PREPARATIONS
Yachtsmen in these waters are going to have
fine time this season. Perhaps no more new
boats have been launched than usual, but GER
tainly those which take their maiden dip in the
blue sea are likely to attract far more attention
than has been given to new yachts since the
Puritan first invaded the waters OF New York
Harbor They will complete as formidable a
pleasure squadron as any flag can boast. 1t is
to be regretted that this city has done so little
that contributes 10 the strength of the fleet.
The Priscilla has never tested her qualities with
any crack cutter. but her standing has been
fixed with reasonable measure OF accurac y
and nobody cares to back her III gale OF wind
against either of the champions who have con-
coded the superiority Of General Paine'ssoOps.
The Atlantic, though noble boat, seems to
have defects which place her at the very bottom
of her class. These comparative failures may
not afford much encouragement to New York
yachtsmen, and yet it Is not pleasant to see
Boston carrying of all the hOnOIs of pleasure
boat architecture.
These local sentiments. however do not in
terfere with the sincere ad niration which Gen
eral Paine's enthusiastic and most in
telligent enterprise justly excites. Brit

have, at all events, departed widely from the

Then the Fanny the Oracle and the cutter

hopes. Now we nave the MayhOwer, and the
full limit of her possibilities is not yet deter
mined. If the Thistle is better boat than
she. the Scotch yachtsmen have certainly done
a magnificent work.
The difference between the Mayhower's
mooy,l and that of the new sloOp is OBVIOUSLY
designed to minimize the istter's resistance,
and with his experience to guide him, it is safe
to assume that Mr.. Burgess knows what he is
about. The new yacht will be S5.9 feet long,
a trihe longer than the Mayfower or the
Thistle. Her extreme beam will be 1913
feet, which is somewhat less than the May
flowers. The Thistle makes marked departure
from cutter rules in respect of her comparative
length, depth and beam. The Galatea, per.
feet type of the English yacht, is 81 feet long,
15 feet beam and 1873 feet deep. The rhistle's
revision of the model gives her So feet length

alterations in the models of yachts are easy to
make, but the contest between mathematics
and the unruly elements will ever remain m
uncertain one. If we are to judge by the
meagre information that the cable imparts
concerning the Thistle she must be regarded
as a smart foe. One thing Is certain. If she
does succeed in taking the supreme prize homo
with her, like Gretchen Van Wrinkle, "she
got to shvim."

THE TRIBUNE's cable letter from London this
morning makes it clear that Mr.. Parnell's
health is very bad. and the nature of his dis
ease grave. Indeed. so serious is his condition,
that his friends certainly have reason to fear
his speedy death. 1t is needless to Disguise
the fact that this result would ultimately be a
hard blow to the Irish cause. The struggle in
Parliament can go on without him; but when
the battle is won. and Home Rue is granted,
the conservative work to be done in Ireland

The verdict in the Jakowsky Marx murder
case has the air of compromise. If Marx
threw vitriol on Mrs. Jakowsky to disfgure
her, that was q felony and if the commission
of the crime caused the wOman's death, the
assailant is certainly guilty of murder in the
first degree. Yet as matter of fact, the evil
deDce of Marks guilt was not overwhelming.
The woman told at least one person before she
died that she did not know who threw the
vitriOl on her. Apparently the conflict in the
Jurors minds, between reasonable doubt"
and horror of so dreadful crime, led to the
verdict of manslaughter in the first degree.

officials is being used for new
mileage. Work was abandoned on the line
west of Fl. Fetterman last winter but
was again resumed last month. There
can be little doubt that the company has
seen fit to deny it, that the one object to
building westward through Wyoming and
Idaho is to reach the Pacific coast. The
line as newly surveyed will cross Snake
river at Eagle Rock, Idaho Territory, to
connect with the Oregon Pacific, in which
the new directors are largely interested,
while work on the Oregon Pacific east
ward is being quietly but none
the less effectively prosecuted. A
contract has been let for building
100 miles of track this year.
The extent of the completed line will re-
move the eastern terminus from Cor
Wallis, Oregon, to Camp Polk in the same
state. 1t is big undertaking for COM
pany like that of the Oregon Pacific to
build line over 500 miles in length from
the Pacific ocean to a point so far inland
as Boise City, I. T., but with the New
York capital represented there can be no
doubt of It's ability to carry the project
through 1t is the confident prediction
of those best posted that the Northwest
ern will be running trains to the Pacific
coast before the end of 1889.
